Got a few more bits to do -
But, see that sunlight? It keeps making me want to get out into the garden instead! -
*********************
And the flouncing? Bought this dress last week - it has a hem that can be worn partly gathered up, all gathered, or not at all -
Inside, on the seams of the flared skirt, there are ribbons that you can tie up - or not, depending on how flouncy you feel! -
Neat idea, huh?

Go girl - flounce to your heart's content! Love spotted tea cups and the plate is really pretty!

Hello Abby:
ReplyDeleteThe painted table looks very good indeed. A perfect size for so many uses and situations and the colour is wonderful. We think that we remember your saying that it was a Farrow and Ball shade. Certainly, the chalky finish and depth of colour would suggest it. Lovely!
Perfect for the spotty cups and saucers!!
The table looks great and love those spotty tea cups, they are lovely.

That table is just lovely, as is your delightful home and garden! What a glorious view of the field and farmer! Love Brenda
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely spotty crockery! The dress is great - was it new or a very lucky find? x
ReplyDeleteLovely flouncy flowers and flouncy dress! I really like the spotty china too! x p.s (Your husband is a very talented man judging by his website!)
ReplyDeleteCarrad - the dress was new - but reasonable, I thought - £27.99 - local shop called Wyestyles, the make was Gringo.

Hi Abby I'm not sure about flouncing but love your painted furniture.
ReplyDeleteI'm def in the land of the lurgy unfortunely, though I've just managed to quilt the quilt!
Have a great weekend

Love the little painted table Abby - and thanks for the Anie Sloan tip the other day - am afraid I lost most of the comments to that post when Blogger had that off day, and havent yet managed to get them back.
ReplyDeleteLove that flouncy dress - looks wonderful gathered up, the fabric is beautiful.
Wonderful green dotty china - i want some now!!!
Thanks for your comment Abby!
have a great weekend!

Hello, I love the dress, very bohemian. Beautiful spotty cups too.¨
ReplyDeleteI wanted to answer your question and was well impressed you have been to Cesky Krumlov, most people only got to Prague which is a shame as I think Cesky Krumlov is beautiful too. Sadly, I don't live near either. We live near Brno, the second biggest city in the Czech Rep. It is still gorgeous though and there are some nice local towns. I sometimes wish I lived in Prague or C Krumlov as there are a lot more english speakers and it is less old fashioned there. Cesky Krumlov is my spiritual home, I love it! Must stop rambling, I should do a post about it. xx
Ooh I love that.... flouncy and then you end up with polka dots ! Lovely !
ReplyDeleteThat skirt is amazing!
ReplyDeleteAnd, like I've said before, your garden is gorgeous xx
Dear Abby
ReplyDeleteThank you for popping by :-)
How lovely is your decking/summerhouse outdoor space?? I want to sit there and drink tea!
The dress is delightful - I must remember to wear some floaty dresses rather than the jeans / leggings that motherhood has bestowed upon me ;-)
And spotty cups - just gorgeous - I love spotty china!
Happy weekend to you,
xx
So many lovely things today - the pretty table - love the colour and finish - the beautiful flowers, the spotty china (adorable) and the flouncy dress!! I have a skirt that you can do this with - ribbons inside to tie up or not depending on mood being flouncy or not - such a great idea! Hope you're having a lovely weekend.

Ooh you are making me want to jump on a plane right now and come shopping with you! Just love those spotty cups, my sister is off to Wales in September to visit her hubbys family, I will give her some money to buy me something special at a market over there. :)
